Finally I have some to to sit and take a closer look at the recent announcement that the ACC was going study the viability to start their own television network. It’s apparent to me that John Swofford is reading the blog, and took my suggestions of adding Lousiville and trying to build a network as the conference’s …

There’s good news and bad news in this week’s ACC Bubble Analysis. The ACC solidifying itself at the top, but for the first time I can only justify 4 ACC teams getting into the Big Dance if selections were made today. Here’s how it breaksdown. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a …

We are getting right into the mix of the conference basketball season so let’s see where our ACC bloggers take us. I know I have to check in on the NC State bloggers after the Wolfpack’s huge win over the Duke Blue Devils. To be the man you have to beat the man… says StateFansNation …

I have frequently heard that that ACC basketball is down this year, but is this really true? I’ve heard comments that Duke and NC State are the only good teams with Duke being the only elite one. While I won’t claim that the ACC is having a vintage year, but I do believe it’s deeper …

So much happened in the past week… It’s was the ACC’s best bowl season in years with marquee wins over the USC Trojans, LSU Tigers, and an Orange Bowl win.

The last ACC bubble analysis of 2012… Just before conference play begins. I’m posting early since I’ll be in the road most of the day, so enjoy… Who’s in and who’s out? In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses …

Lots going on out there… We have bowl games. We have teams positioning themselves for March already. What do the ACC bloggers have to say about it? ShakintheSouthland doesn’t have much confidence in a Clemson victory Monday night. I’d say that’s still due to South Carolina scarring and a very good LSU opponent upcoming… What’s …

As we’ve been doing our ACC bubble analysis each week, I’m still contending that that ACC should get at least 5 NCAA bids and possibly 6 due to a very weak group of bubble teams. Is it likely? I would say the chances are not high, that a team beyond Duke, NC State, Miami, Maryland, UNC …

Well I hope you are enjoying Christmas Eve everyone! Got a quick post for you as we check in on the NCAA bubble before the Holidays. For all the people calling it a down year in the ACC, the ACC sits at 3rd in conference RPI, just behind the Mountain West and number 1 Big …

Two days before Christmas, and let’s see what’s happening around the ACC Blogoshphere. Georgia Tech blog FromtheRumbleSeat puts together a fairly positive retrospective of outgoing QB Tevin Washington. For me Washington was a decent QB who was not athletically gifted which resulted in a lot of 5 yard runs that should have been 15 yard runs. Washington …

Before we begin, let me say I’m not going to try and convince anyone that the money produced from basketball will approach what football can do. That’s simply not going to happen anymore. Football is the top revenue generator in college athletics, and that’s not going to change anytime soon if ever. That said there …

Not a lot of movement this week with the lack of games, but the Duke Blue Devils do move to top of both the AP and Coaches polls after Indiana’s loss. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside …

Conference expansion or contraction or realignment or whatever they are calling it these days took another turn today with the Big East basketball schools splitting from their football counterparts. So for the ACC what should they do? Well I have a something new to the realignment game. The ACC should not expand, they should stand pat. …
